Romina Ustayev is not who Palm Beach expected, and that’s exactly what makes her impossible to ignore. Born in Uzbekistan, Ustayev carved her path from the streets of Philadelphia to the manicured lawns of one of America’s wealthiest enclaves, building a business and a life on her terms.
Now a cast member on Netflix’s Members Only Palm Beach, she is bringing a perspective rarely seen in elite spaces, that of an immigrant who refused to shrink. In a candid conversation, Ustayev opens up about culture, entrepreneurship, and the advice she wishes someone had given her years ago.
